Hello,
All your "Tang" statues are supposed to be from the Tang dynasty, according to their style.
Some are more convincing than others but all have the particularity of being made from white clay, the favorite material used by fake makers.
Only imperial statues are made from white clay and are not as white as yours.Most are made of red clay and never made of dark grey clay.
This particular sancai statue is well done but the dog being with green glaze and the lady made with blue & brown glaze, is a kind of combination of glazes I have never seen on a real Tang statue. Either they are all with blue & brown, or all in green and brown.
The other statues have some details too well designed to be old.
I have some strong doubt that they are from the period.
Cheers.
